Sometime you just don’t know what looks better, the landscape or clouds. It rained few hour before, so I had high hopes for the sunset. It wasn’t very colorful, but still a stunning sunset.
I went with 7 brackets for this one, as that’s my usual. But 5 would have been quite enough. The light was quite flat, not many shadows here. Also the sky is from one of the original shots, just post-processed in Photoshop.
I tried to get a nice reflection in this one, but the river was just not calm enough. so I got at least some colors reflected. I was also planing to add something different today, but just had no time to edit.
I love shooting fireworks. It’s a little hit and miss all the time, as there are not so many opportunities, when to take photos of them. These time they were directly in the middle of the city, over Danube. So I found my self a spot, so I have the castle and them in one photo. And I think it worked out nicely.
Of course this is a HDR from a single RAW file. Also I used Oloneo HDR instead of Photomatix, as it gives me better results with photos, where there is a lot of black space.
A big one today (60 Mpix :) ). Those of you who follow me on facebook know that I recently bought a Panoramic head, the Nodal Ninja 4. I also posted few shot of how it looks and how I used it for this photo there. And this is the first result I’m publishing. This is a 180 degree vertorama, created from 7 photos. At first it should have been a HDR vertorama (I took multiple brackets), but as it was quite windy there, the ghosting was just too much. So instead I created this from single exposures, and I used some of the steps I do in HDR post processing on it.
As Smugmug is not so good for vertical photos (it creates very small versions of them) I uploaded the big version directly to the blog. When you click on it, you will see a smaller one, which fits a screen :)
What a beauty this is. And I took this only handheld :). I had to be very quick, so I have no one in the shot. I was in the city yesterday and there was a veteran rally. And as I was walking around I found this beauty, with no one standing next to it. I managed to take two shot when other people noticed it and started moving around it. But I think the ones I got are really nice :)
